Chapter 434: Ice City 5
Chapter 434: Ice City 5
Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying had experienced many adventures in this Zerg world. One day, they heard that in the distant Ice City there was a special refrigerant that was crucial to the energy system of their spaceship.
The three embarked on a journey to the Ice City. Along the way, they were amazed by the unique landscape of the Zerg world. Huge stone pillars reached into the sky, and a strange mist filled the air. From time to time, low roars could be heard in the distance, as if unknown danger lurked within.
"This place is really scary." Zhang Ying said with a vigilant look, holding the weapon tightly in his hand.
Yan Jun nodded, "But for the sake of the refrigerant, we have to go no matter how dangerous it is."
Lin Zhi looked into the distance and said, "I hope we can find it successfully and leave this damn place quickly."
Finally, they arrived at the Ice City. Covered in a thick layer of ice, the city boasted unique architecture, carved from massive blocks of ice. On the streets, Zerg residents came and went, their forms varied, some sporting sharp claws, others boasting enormous wings.
Linzhi and his three companions walked cautiously along the street, searching for clues about the refrigerant. Then, they spotted two Zerg brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai. Wang Jun was tall and muscular, while Wang Kai was relatively thin, but his eyes were very bright.
"Are you outsiders?" Wang Jun walked up and looked at Lin Zhi and the others.
Yan Jun nodded. "We are looking for a refrigerant. Do you know where we can find it?"
Wang Kai's eyes lit up. "Refrigerant? We do have some clues. But what will you use in exchange?"
Lin Zhi thought for a moment and took out some precious ores obtained from previous adventures. "Is this enough?"
Wang Jun took the ore, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, come with us."
Wang Jun and Wang Kai led Lin Zhi and the others through narrow ice lanes until they arrived in front of a huge ice tower. The tower exuded a cold aura, and the air around it seemed frozen.
"The refrigerant is inside this ice tower, but there are many dangers inside, so you should be careful." Wang Kai reminded.
Linzhi and the other two took a deep breath and entered the ice tower. The light inside was dim, and the walls were covered with thick icicles. As they moved forward cautiously, they suddenly heard a low, hissing sound.
"Be careful, something is coming." Yan Jun said in a low voice.
A group of small but agile Zerg creatures rushed out from the darkness, their eyes flashing green light and sharp teeth showing in their mouths.
Linzhi and the other two quickly assumed combat stances and engaged the Zerg creatures in a fierce battle. Yan Jun wielded his sword, its blade flashing with a cold light, each swing capable of slashing down several Zerg creatures. Zhang Ying, wielding an energy gun, fired continuously, beams of energy piercing the darkness and illuminating the surrounding space. Not to be outdone, Linzhi summoned his supernatural powers, his hands radiating a blue light, repelling the approaching Zerg creatures.
After a hard fight, they finally repelled the Zerg creatures, but at this point, they were all somewhat exhausted.
"Where is this refrigerant?" Zhang Ying said, panting.
Just then, they heard a resounding laugh. A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the ice tower. It was the four Zerg sisters: Li Li, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li. They were graceful, their eyes gleaming with cunning.
"Are you looking for refrigerant? That thing is not easy to find." Li said with a smile.
Lin Zhi frowned and said, "You know where it is, tell me quickly."
Li Ming stepped forward and said, "I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition."
He looked at them sternly and warily, "What are the conditions?"
Li Hua said with a grin, "Help us defeat those two guys Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan. They always bully us."
Lin Zhi and the other two looked at each other, and Lin Zhi said, "Okay, we'll help you, but you have to lead us to the refrigerant as soon as possible."
Li nodded and said, "Come with us."
Li? and the others led Lin Zhi and the other two through the ice tower and finally arrived in front of a huge ice chamber. In the center of the ice chamber was a huge container, emitting a faint blue light. It was the refrigerant they were looking for.
"This is it." Li Li said excitedly.
Linzhi walked forward and was about to get the refrigerant when suddenly, the door of the ice room was slammed shut and Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan appeared.
"How dare you ruin our good thing!" Hua Yuan roared.
A fierce battle ensued once again. Lin Zhi and the others joined forces with the Li sisters to confront Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan. Hua Yuan was enormous and immensely powerful, wielding a massive icicle, each strike packing a powerful punch. Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, was agile and adept at wielding ice blades, which danced in his hands, gleaming with a cold light.
Yan Jun confronted Hua Yuan head-on, deftly dodging her attacks while searching for opportunities to counterattack. Zhang Ying and the Li sisters attacked Zhang Yuan together, their energy beams and ice blades intertwining, leaving Zhang Yuan somewhat overwhelmed. Lin Zhi, using her own special abilities, constantly sought out the opponent's weaknesses during the battle.
After a fierce fight, they finally defeated Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan. Lin Zhi quickly got the refrigerant and left the Ice City with Yan Jun and Zhang Ying.
Back on the spacecraft, they installed the refrigerant and the spacecraft's energy system returned to normal.
"This time it was really thrilling." Zhang Ying sighed.
Yan Jun nodded. "But the harvest is not small. With this refrigerant, our spacecraft can continue to explore this Zerg world."
Lin Zhi looked out the window at the Zerg world, her heart filled with anticipation, "What will I encounter on my next adventure?"
Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying stood outside the gates of the Ice City, gazing at the towering ice walls, their hearts filled with confusion and anxiety. This Ice City was a mysterious place in the Zerg world, said to hide countless secrets.
"This ice wall looks freezing cold. How can we get in?" Zhang Ying rubbed his hands and exhaled a puff of white air.
Lin Zhi frowned, carefully observing the ice wall, trying to find the entrance. "There must be a way. If the Zerg could build a city like this, they wouldn't leave only one gate."
Yan Jun, holding his weapon tightly, looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, he saw a faint light flickering on the ice wall and pointed there, saying, "Look over there, there seems to be some movement."
The three approached cautiously and discovered that the light was indeed a hidden door. As they approached, the door slowly opened, and a cold breath hit them.
Entering the city, the streets were lined with houses built of ice, sparkling and translucent. There were few pedestrians on the road, and everyone was wearing thick clothes and looking hurried.
"Why is this place so deserted?" Zhang Ying whispered.
At this moment, a figure flashed out from the side alley and blocked their way. It was the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Ice City?" Wang Jun asked coldly.
Lin Zhi stepped forward and said politely, "We are outsiders. We have heard that the Ice City has many wonders, so we have come here to explore it."
Wang Kai looked them up and down and said disdainfully, "Humph, outsiders, don't even think about finding any benefits here easily. Leave now."
Yan Jun frowned. "We've come all the way here, how can we return empty-handed? Can you give us some guidance?"
Wang Jun sneered, "Guidance? Why? But since you're still polite, answer a question for me. If you answer correctly, I'll consider it."
Lin Zhi nodded: "Okay, ask."
Wang Jun pointed to a steaming igloo on the street and asked, "Why is that igloo steaming?"
Zhang Ying scratched his head: "This... could it be that there is a fire source in the ice house?"
Wang Jun shook his head: "Wrong, guess again."
Lin Zhi thought for a moment: "Could it be that the people inside used a special refrigeration device, and the heat was sucked in from the outside?"
Wang Jun nodded slightly. "That's half right. There's actually geothermal heat underneath the igloo. The igloo's special material can maintain a certain temperature, so the heat escapes from the cracks."
Wang Kai said from the side: "Okay, since you still have some brains, come with us and we will take you somewhere."
Following Wang Jun and Wang Kai, they arrived in front of a magnificent ice tower, which soared into the clouds and exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
"What is this ice tower used for?" Yan Jun asked.
Wang Jun smiled mysteriously: "This is the intelligence center of Ice City. If you want to know more about the Zerg world, just go in. But the people inside are not easy to deal with, so you'd better be careful." After that, the two brothers turned and left.
Linzhi, Yan Jun and Zhang Ying walked into the ice tower. The light inside was dim, and various ice sculptures and crystal containers were placed around. The containers emitted faint light, as if recording some information.
In the center of the ice tower sat an old man in a black robe. His face was covered by a hood, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Outsider, what do you want from me?" The old man's voice was low and hoarse.
Lin Zhi stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior, we want to learn some of the history and secrets of the Zerg world. I hope you can give us some help."
The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The history of the Zerg world is long and complex. What do you want to hear about?"
Yan Jun thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the origin of the Zerg first."
The old man raised his head slightly and spoke slowly, "The origins of the Zerg can be traced back to a long, long time ago. Back then, the universe was in chaos, and various energies collided with each other. In a huge energy explosion, the first Zerg were born. They possessed powerful adaptability and reproductive abilities, and gradually multiplied throughout the universe. After countless years of development, the Zerg became the vast race it is today."
Lin Zhi then asked, "Why did the Zerg come to this world? What is so special about this world?"
The old man sighed. "The Zerg came to this world because it contains a mysterious energy that greatly aids their evolution. What makes this world special is its complex and ever-changing environment, where various elements intertwine to foster unique creatures and resources."
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
Zhang Ying said nervously, "What's going on? Did something happen?"
Linzhi and Yanjun looked at each other and decided to go out and take a look.
After exiting the ice tower, the streets were in chaos. The four Zerg siblings, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, were confronting a group of unidentified people.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Ice City!" Li shouted loudly.
A tall man in the group sneered, "We're here to take the treasure from the Ice City. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"
Li Hua was not afraid: "Treasure? There is no treasure in the Ice City. Stop daydreaming!"
The two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Seeing this, Lin Zhi shouted, "Everyone calm down first, don't be impulsive!"
Yan Jun also shouted, "We don't understand the situation, don't do anything yet!"
Just then, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan walked out of the crowd.
Hua Yuan looked at Lin Zhi and the others and said, "You'd better not interfere. This is our Ice City's business."
Zhang Yuan also echoed: "Yeah, don't get yourself into trouble."
Lin Zhi frowned. "We're all outsiders. Can't we discuss this peacefully? Do we really have to resort to violence?"
However, the group ignored the warning and suddenly launched an attack. For a moment, the streets of Ice City were filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.
Lin Zhi, Yan Jun and Zhang Ying had no choice but to join the battle and fight alongside Li Yu and his men. The battle was extremely fierce and everyone tried their best.
During the battle, Lin Zhi discovered that the group seemed to be well-coordinated and quite powerful. He shouted, "Everyone, be careful! These people are not simple!"
Yan Jun brandished his weapon, fending off several people's attacks, and shouted, "We have to think of a way. We can't keep fighting like this!"
Zhang Ying suddenly had an idea: "I'll go find the old man in the ice tower, he might have a solution!" After saying that, he ran towards the ice tower.
After a while, Zhang Ying returned with the old man. The old man looked at the chaotic scene with a frown on his face.
"Stop!" the old man shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty, which made people feel awe.
When everyone heard the old man's voice, they all stopped.
The old man said slowly: "Why are you causing trouble in Ice City?"
The leader of the group snorted, "We heard there was a treasure in the Ice City, so naturally we came here to look for it."
The old man shook his head: "There is no treasure in the Ice City. You are just misled by rumors."
The leader didn't believe it: "Huh, you say there is no such thing? Who can prove it?"
The old man looked at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "The Ice City has existed for so many years. If there really is a treasure, it would have been discovered long ago. Don't be so stubborn, or you will be rude to me!"
The group seemed a little shaken by the old man's words. Then, Lin Zhi stepped forward and said, "We all come from different places. Why fight over a mythical treasure? Why not make peace and explore other parts of the Zerg world together? Perhaps we'll find even greater rewards."
Yan Jun also said: "Yes, fighting each other will only hurt everyone. Cooperation is the better choice."
Li? The others nodded in agreement. The group hesitated for a moment, and finally the leader said, "Well, since you say so, let's stop for now. But if I discover that there is a treasure in the Ice City, I will not let it go." With that, he led the group away.
The Ice City returned to peace. Linzhi, Yan Jun, Zhang Ying and Li? smiled at each other.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened today." Li said gratefully.
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "We're all friends, so it's only natural for us to help each other. By the way, are there any other fun places in this Ice City?"
Li Hua said excitedly, "Of course there is. There's a glacial lake in front. The water is crystal clear and you can see all kinds of amazing sights on the bottom. You must go and see it."
After hearing this, everyone was full of anticipation and decided to go to the ice lake together to continue their wonderful adventure in the Zerg world.
At the edge of the icy lake, they were stunned by the beauty before them: the lake water was a dreamy blue, and the icicles and crystals at the bottom of the lake sparkled with colorful light, as if it were a mysterious underwater world.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Zhang Ying couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Zhi couldn't help but be intoxicated by it: "This Zerg world is really full of surprises."
